I am not sure Andy, from where its at on the Y nut, the word convenient is even in the same book. :( In fact, a trip to my local small engine shop for a few yards of weed eater fuel line might be in order. I put a couple pieces of that, from an oil manifold on the post, so I can run some vactra into those miniscule nuts in the toy mill. That seems to be working fairly well as it was leaking out past the felt wipers for both when I last had it apart. The x screw on the lathe had one of these zerks in it, and a 1/4 pump about monthly seems to be keeping the screw rust-proofed.
